Doses up to 1200 mg per day, for 8 weeks, have been shown in clinical trials to be effective with no apparent dose relationship in the incidence of adverse experiences reported.
Teveten™ may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensives, e.g. thiazide-type diuretics or calcium channel blockers, if a greater blood pressure lowering effect is required.
Teveten™ may be taken with or without food.
